A golf ball killed a Chinese boy at the Race Course Ground yesterday afternoon. The accident occurred at about 1 o'clock as a Japanese player was driving oft from the second tee. The boy, who was employed to look after golf balls, ran into the path of the ball just driven and it struck him in the right temple, knócking him to the ground.
The boy was taken, unconscious, to the Lester Chinese Hospital in a Fire Brigade ambulance. He died as a result of concussion of the brain some twenty minutes after admission.
